I have made this pie many times over the years. I have had it come out flat, runny or perfect. Todays pie came out perfect, and fluffy full. I think it is because I beat it with a hand mixer longer then normal. I am letting it cool in the oven with the door open. I don't add or change anything in this recipe, it is perfect the way it is.

I've made this pie previously and had problems with it filling up the crust and setting up for the recommended cooking time. So, I scaled up the recipe and added a square of chocolate, an egg, ( I make sure to beat the eggs well and let the chocolate mixture cool before adding them) 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 Tbsp butter, covered the crust edges with foil and baked for 40 minutes. It turned out perfect. I made a second one, and it turned out perfect as well.

Didn't work for me. I cooked an additional 5 minutes, and still goopy. I used less sugar and still too sweet. And the amount was too little for the crust, so it was a thin pie (not attractive), yet a slice was too much for any of my family to eat since it was so heavy and sweet. Sorry, as I usually trust most of Paula's recipes - she is usually right on for a great taste.

How is this NOT 5 star!?!?!
I LOVE Paula. I'm a southern raised man and LOVE my southern food.
It's cliche to say but some of the best dishes requires the least amount of ingredients, it's the memories, the love and the nostalgia that seasons/flavors the food.
It reminds me of my grandmothers pie when I was a little boy.
SUPER easy and literally all the ingredients are pantry dwellers.
LOVE IT

This was excellent! I used 3oz. bittersweet chocolate and used 3 eggs which made it a fuller pie. You do need to temper the eggs. The pie is so quick and easy. I warmed it up in microwave the next day for 30 sec. a slice. YUMMY!

I am not a baker, but I had to make a pie for class, I choose this one because it looked yummy and easy, and it is!! It was a big hit and everyone wanted the recipe. Also, there were four chocolate pies that night and mine was the best, way better than those fluffy, cold ones. I highly recommend this recipe, I think next time I'll add pecans just for a little flare. I also tempered the eggs before adding them to the hot mixture, which is not stated in the recipe, but I suggest doing it.

I made you Old Fashion Fudge Pie AND you Pumpkin Cheesecake "using fresh pumpkin" Well! The Fudge Pie Won!!! And here I thought that the Pumpkin Cheesecake would. Not to say the cheesecake wasn't yummy because OH IT WAS! But and asked everyone which they liked the best and the Fudge pie did win! I also made you Mashed potatoes with the bacon and cheese with sour cream for the Christmas dinner and my husband went nut over them....So Paula Thanks and Have a Very Nice New Years. Thanks Josie

Paula, Paula, PAULA!!!
I was sitting there, watching the show. You started making your Old Fashioned Fudge Pie. I kept waiting for the hard part, there wasn't one. THEN I thought.."I have all that stuff!" I immediately went to the kitchen and made the pie from memory. You demonstrated every step, so I just did them as you had shown them. I always have chocolate chips in my freezer and during the Holidays I almost always have a frozen pie crust or two, eggs, sugar and butter...who doesn't have those? Twenty-five minutes later I pulled the pie out of the oven. We had to set a timer so everyone would wait until it cooled!!!! It was AWESOME. When one is gone I need to make another, but it isn't a big deal because it's so easy!
I took one to my sister's home for the family gathering Christmas Eve. My brother-in-law took a piece and went to his chair. After his first bite he went to the kitchen and hid what was left of it for himself and asked me to give my sister the recipe. When I recited it for her she was certain that I had left out a few ingredients and steps. She couldn't believe how easy it was!
I had a house full on Christmas Day. When it became clear that these folks had settled in for a long visit, I got up for a few minutes, whipped up a pie and enjoyed their company for the 25 minutes it took to cook, 30 minutes later I served it with a dollop of fresh cream and I was a hero!!!
Thank you so much!
This recipe is going to be a family favorite for years to come.

This was extremely easy to make and very delicious. My only concern was when the pie was baking it began to souffle! I thought maybe I had over beaten the filling. After cooling the pie had collapsed and was fine. Unsweetened chocolate is an option too as well as adding toffee to the filling before baking. It came out wonderful.

I made this pie last night and let it sit overnight in the fridge. It is a definite keeper in my recipe book. I followed the recipe exactly, cooking the chocolate and butter on low then taking it off the burner. Next i added the sugar mixing well then the eggs one at a time and mixing in between. For those of you having problems with your eggs scrambling you are melting the butter and chocolate at a higher temperature than you need to. If you put them in the pot together and put them on the back burner on low and let it slowly melt this will keep it from getting too hot and scrambling your eggs. I cooked it for 25 minutes and then let sit in the oven with the oven off for 7-10 minutes with the door cracked like suggested. My pie was not as firm as i was anticipating, since i thought it would be more like fudge, but i just moved into this house and still learning the oven. The way my pie turned out was delicious and If you follow the recipe and read all the reviews you will have a pie that your family will love. On a side note, If you are wanting to get a little creative i think coconut, nuts or even chocolate chips would be a good mix in to this pie.

I just had a piece of this pie at my daughter's house today and I absolutely loved it. Since I don't usually eat too many sweet things (I'm a diabetic), I was surprised that it wasn't overly sweet. I had to get this recipe because I'm definitely going to make it. I will, however, use less sugar since I did read a review that used 1/4 less sugar. If her's turned out good, then I'm trying it also. Paula Deen, you're a hit with me.

This pie is delicious. It is so amazing that just four ingredients could produce such an excellent pie. It is rich, chocolately and decadent. Once I melted the chocolate and butter, I took the mixture off the heat and first added the sugar, then the eggs. Had no problem with eggs scrambling. You really don't have to get the mixture of butter and chocolate super hot to melt the two together. Moderate heat will do the job just fine. This pie has become a favorite in our house already. Thanks Paula.

This pie was soooo good and incredibly easy to make. After reading some of the reviews, I was worried it wouldn't turn out right. But I made it just like Paula did on the show, melted the chocolate, butter, and then added sugar when it was almost all melted. I did it over low heat so it didn't get very hot. I did temper the eggs to be sure they didn't scramble, and then poured them into the chocolate mixture and mixed it up. I baked it for 25 mins and then left it in the oven with the door propped open for 7 mins as some of the other reviewers did. I refrigerated it and it was great that evening and the next. Now it's all gone and I need to make more!

The reason yalls pies are turning out soggy or not set, is because you are putting the filling into the the pie crust when it is too hot. The steam is causing it to get "mushy". And the chocolate obviously has to be not scorching hot when you add the eggs! Haven't you made breakfast before--you know that egss cook quik! :) Be patinet and let things cool!

Yesterday I saw Paula make this pie and went straight to the kitchen and made it. I had only unsweetened chocolate squares but added two extra tablespoons of sugar to equal semi-sweet. I added the sugar to the melted butter and sugar on very low heat just long enough for it to lose some of the grainy appearance. Then, as Paula did, I added some of the chocolate mixture to the 2 beaten eggs, stirred it well, and then added the eggs to the chocolate mixture. After 25 minutes in the oven I turned the oven off, and opened the oven door. I took it out of the oven 7-10 minutes later. My husband (who doesn't particularly like chocolate) ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It is fast, inexpensive and easy to prepare, and really, really GOOD!
Today I made two more of these to give to friends, and they turned out PERFECT too.

The only thing I changed ingredient-wise, after making it the first time, was I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup. For the past Mother's Day luncheon that the women in my family have annually, I made little individual pies using a mini-muffin pan. Then I melted dark chocolate and put a small circle of the chocolate on the top. Everyone loved them!! It's now everyone's new favorite.

To begin, this was the easiest pie to make. I had no problems with it. I melted the butter (I did use real butter) and chocolate together and then took it off the burner and stirred in the sugar before adding the eggs (I wasn't sure if the eggs would start to cook), then used a mixer to make sure everything was blended. Put it in a pre-made frozen pie crust (regular) and baked as directed. I wasn't sure how it would turn out since it got a 'crust' on top, but after it cooled I did put it in the refrigerator overnight before serving and it was absolutely perfect. The inside looked like fudge. It wasn't grainy as I was worried about. I will definitely make again- and again. I'm a novice pie maker, but even this turned out superb. Thanks Paula.

This pie is super easy to make, I did not have any of the problems others experienced. I did add 1 T of flour as recommended by another reviewer, but I highly DO NOT recommend doing this. It really took away from the flavor. My mom made the pie before without it and it turned out much better. I did let the pie cool in the oven and it did not collapse (note: it is a much thinner pie than most). I used a regular size crust and would recommend a pastry crust rather than a frozen or graham cracker crust- these crusts would be too heavy for such a thick pie. I personally liked the pie better the second day and cold from the refrigerator. Bottom line: it was okay, for a good, quick dessert it was a good pie, but far from the best chocolate pie I have ever had.

I have made this several times because everyone in my family loves this! It has the best flavor of chocolate. Not too sweet, but just rich enough for any chocolate lover to enjoy. I just topped it with whipped cream. The first time I made it, I mistakenly used an already-baked pie crust and you could hardly get your fork through it! You just can't go wrong with Paula Deen!

This pie is awesome. I watched Paula make this pie on her show and she added the butter, chocolate and sugar together on the stove until everything melted. I know the recipe says to remove from the heat before you add the sugar. I'm not sure if this makes a difference with the pie firming up or not, but I added everything together like Paula did on her show, and mine was perfect. Also, after 25 minutes, I turned the oven off, cracked the oven door and let the pie sit for about 7 - 10 minutes. (This will help prevent the pie from caving in).

I found this recipe yesterday when I was searching online for a pie I could make that didn't require milk. I was making pies for a church fund raiser and realized too late that I didn't have enough milk on hand to make my usual 2 custard and 2 French Coconut (another Paula recipe I do believe).
This pie is AMAZING! It did form a thin hard crust on top while baking, but after letting it cool I was able to lift that crust off. I crushed it and sprinkled some of it back over the pie. It was a hit at our church supper and maybe one of the best pies I've ever eaten (a spot previously held by the French Coconut). A must try!

When making this pie I used 2 1 oz. squares. 2 sq. =(2oz) Baking chocolate comes is 1 oz. sizes as stated on the box so if you are using 4 sq. you have just doubled the chocolate. Look at the 1/2 c. butter which =(1 stick). I hope that helps.

This is the most fabulous fudge pie I have ever tasted!! Easy, easy and easy, quick. My husband took it outside where the neighborhood guy's were all gathered and they had some. Everyone who had a slice raved about it!! I made two deep dish pies or I don't think I would have gotten any. It doesn't have a overpowering heavy dense chocolate, but very light and delicate. I used Ghirardelli chocolate and it made this recipe.

Ok, I admit freely I am not a baker. But I went EXACTLY by the recipe and I went over it over and over again, but it seemed just runny and like something was missing. Maybe that's what it was supposed to be like. But it just never "set". Again, maybe it's me.

I wanted to recreate my husband's favorite dessert from a grocery story bakery in Richmond, VA. I hit a homerun with this recipe. I used Splenda Blend in the pie and it turned out great. Thank you Paula!!!

This is not only the best chocolate pie I have ever eaten but couldn't be easier. It rates the very highest in my family. I make it for every special ocassion.
I must say that with store-bought frozen pie shells you need to make 2 recipes as the crusts are deep-dish.

This pie was absolutely fabulous! I used 2 2oz. blocks of semi-sweet chocolate and the sweetness was just right. I baked at 375 degrees for 25 minutes and chilled for a couple of hours and the consistancy was like a brownie on top and fudge in the middle. Everyone loved this pie, even my sister in law, who is the pickiest eater I know!

This pie was wonderful and I loved that I didn't "need" to go back for seconds! It was too rich for a second piece. Next time I make it I might try a graham cracker crust!

If you are a chocolate lover like I am you will flip over this so simple recipe. The texture was just perfect for a chewy brownie. The flavor was the best!! I ate the whole pie and had to make another for my family to enjoy!

This is a family favorite now. My girls make it at least once a month because it is so easy and delicious. It is fail proof at sea level. It may need flour at higher elevation. I am not sure.

I have never tried this type pie before, and frankly not a huge fan of chocolate, but not only is the easiet pie I have ever made, but it was delicious. My friend is on a diet, so I cleverly made her a small pie, about 3 spoonfuls, and she went nuts!!!
Love your show and you

This recipe is missing an ingredient. It needs flour, so to make it would result in a disaster, just it like did when I made it.

Paula, you are the greatest! Made two of these pies Easter Morning before Church, they were so easy and delicious. This is a very rich dessert.
Topped pies with cool whip, but my friend made made two and served hers along with homemade ice cream. Yum!

You didn't do anything wrong. It always needs extra cooking time in my oven. Be sure to put little strips of foil on your crust before baking so it won't burn. When you can put a knife into the pie halfway to the center and it comes out clean and the sides have pulled away from the crust, it is done. Just add 5 minutes at a time and check it. Several of Paula Deen's recipes have been this way, so I guess she uses a fast oven-probably top of the line.
